Surface Chemistry of Surfactants and Polymers 24-28 October 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal

Surface Chemistry of Surfactants and Polymers
24-28 October 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal

Course Description

This five-day intensive course provides a comprehensive overview of the chemistry related to the behavior of surfactants and polymers in solution and at interfaces. All important aspects of surfactants and water soluble polymers, as well as combinations of the two, are covered during the course. Examples of topics are environmental and health aspects of surfactants, surfactant self-assembly, surfactant and polymer adsorption, mixed surfactant systems and surfactant-polymer systems in solution and at interfaces, polymers in solution, wetting, surface and interfacial tension, rheology, micro-emulsions, emulsions and foams, solid dispersions, colloidal stability, and the use of surfactants as templates for nanomaterials.

Surfactants and polymers are used in a wide range of application areas, including detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and coatings. The surface and colloid chemistry that is taught and discussed on the course is to a large extent generic and applicable to many of the aspects of formulation science and technology in these areas. Reference to practical uses of surfactants and water soluble polymers will be made in the lectures. There will also be scheduled time for group discussions.

The course is of interest to scientists, engineers and project managers working in the above-mentioned, or related, areas. The applicants are required to have general academic qualifications in chemistry, but no particular formal education in surface chemistry is required. All lectures and notes will be in English.
The book, Surface Chemistry of Surfactants and Polymers, is included in the course fee.

This course is being offered for the 25th consecutive time and it has been updated continuously. In previous years the course has attracted participants from almost every European country, as well as from the USA, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, China and South Korea.

CLINAM 9 / 2016 Conference and Exhibition
European & Global Summit for Cutting-Edge Medicine
June 26 – 29, 2016 • Basel, Switzerland

The Conference at a Glance

In the previous eight years, the CLINAM Summit grew to the largest in its field with 12 presenting Noble Laureates and more than 500 participants from academia, industry, regulatory authorities and policy from over 40 different countries in Europe and worldwide. With this success and broad support by well beyond 20 renowned collaborating initiatives, the CLINAM-Summit is today one of the most important marketplaces for scientific exchange and discussions of regulatory, political and ethical aspects in this field of cutting edge medicine.

In particular, the CLINAM Summit emerged as exquisite forum for translation from bench to bedside, for European and international networking, and for industrial collaboration between companies, with academia, and point-of-contact with customers. The summit is presently the only place to meet the regulatory authorities from all continents to debate the needs of all stakeholders in the field with the legislators.

CLINAM 9/2016 continues with its successful tradition to cover the manifold interdisciplinary fields of Clinical and Targeted Nanomedicine in major and neglected diseases. As special focus area, CLINAM 09/2016 adds translation and enabling technologies, including, for example, cutting-edge molecular profiling, nano-scale analytics, single cell analysis, stem cell technologies, tissue engineering, in and ex vivo systems as well as in vitro substitute systems for efficacy and toxicity testing.

CLINAM 09/2016 covers the entire interdisciplinary spectrum of Nanomedicine and Targeted Medicine from new materials with potential medical applications and enabling technologies over diagnostic and therapeutic translation to clinical applications in infectious, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as diabetes, cancer and regenerative medicine to societal implications, strategical issues, and regulatory affairs.

Do you have an innovative solution based on nanomedicine?

Apply for the Nanomedicine award 2015

The ETPN and the ENATRANS CSA have launched the second edition of the Nanomedicine Award to honour the best international nanomedicine innovations for 2015. The Award will be presented at the BIO-Europe conference in Munich in November 2015.

We strongly encourage to apply for the nanomedicine Awards 2015 by submitting their projects in both categories!

The application form is available online at nanomedicine-award.com

diamantThe goal of the Award is to promote and reward two excellent innovative nanomedicine-based solutions that could help physicians change the way diseases are treated and diagnosed, bringing significant benefits to patients.

The Award is open to companies as well as academic and private researchers across the globe. Nominated projects should be totally new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches that address unmet medical needs with nanomedicine, and have an explicit and defined potential market.

Nanomedicine proposals will be evaluated in two categories:
• Award for Best early clinical stage project
• Award for Best product or deal

Applications will be reviewed and assessed by a panel of highly-qualified industry experts with experience in R&D and business roles:
– Patrick Boisseau, Business Development Nanomedicine at CEA-Leti and President of the ETPN
– Patrick Tricoli, VP Corporate Development and CEO Nanobiotix Corp.
– Jeff Hrkach, formerly Chief Technology Officer of BIND Therapeutics, Inc. and member of the Nanomedicines Alliance
– Henry Havel, formerly Senior Research Fellow at Eli Lilly and Chairman of the Nanomedicines Alliance

The Award is supported by the EBD Group, the leading partnering firm for the global life science industry, the Nanomedicines Alliance, the US-based consortium dedicated to promoting and facilitating the scientific advancement, regulatory approval, and public appreciation of nanotechnology-based medicines and Nanobiotix, a late clinical-stage nanomedicine company pioneering novel approaches for the local treatment of cancer.

The Award ceremony will take place during BIO-Europe 2015 in Munich (Germany) on the 3rd November 2015.

Winners will benefit from a full registration (including partnering) for BIO-Europe 2015 and a 10 minutes project presentation during the Conference. The winning projects will also be granted with a presentation during the ETPN General Assembly 2016, along with 1 year’s free ETPN membership and a consulting action by the experts from the Translation Advisory Board (TAB). The winners will gain visibility to EU decision makers from pharma industry, academia, finance and media.

Applications for the Award are open until 15th September 2015.The application form is available online at nanomedicine-award.com
